It would be only conjecture, but maybe by having light shed on his actual identity, he felt his hand had been forced? Thus leading him into exile?

Not sure how I missed that. It's a kick-ass little feature in my book, because while I appreciate the "implied HTML tags", I do find them easy to miss.

It really fits into place if you're coming from one of those libraries. I only wish I could enable percent-sign indicators for HTML tags! (%h1 vs h1)

I'm really excited to watch this come to further fruition. Alex gave a great quick demo at the last NY Ember.js meetup and I was really impressed. I'm a big fan of Handlebars but really appreciate the cleaner syntax.

Seems like a nice site, I like the idea (though I don't love "maid"... I prefer "cleaning person.") But, the e-mail signup doesn't seem to work perfectly. Put in e-mail address, get sent to a sign up page saying my e-mail was blank. Not a g

Hmm. I believe that that was just an example, not the actual context.

I was also amazingly surprised that he referred to them as the "Winklevii" at one point in the original interview. Seems very offputting that the former president of one of the most prominent US universities would refer to former students i

I was also very surprised by Mr. Summmers' response. I went to NYU where John Sexton (president of the University) would often be seen in jeans and a sweatshirt. That being said, it was not uncommon for students to be in suits and ties for

Maybe. But I also feel like if you go to Harvard and have the ability to get an appointment set up by a friend of the family, you would maybe "understand" where they're coming from a bit more. (I use understand in the idea of recognizing th

Offering? I think the comparison would have to be they just make all of the water taste like "mint" and talk about how great it is (though it sucks for cooking.)

I'm not sure why this is being voted down... maybe because there isn't anything to back it up. But, I do think in a way it is a defacto ban. There will be some kids who seek out this book, but chances are those are not the kids that need to

I would disagree ... Look at: http://jackthreads.com/ http://www.gilt.com/ or http://seshday.com/ I'd say that the majority of online fashion shops -- actual shops, not just a designer's site -- often have well designed, well thought

I understand the downvotes -- after all that someone's parents pay for their rents shouldn't necessarily disqualify that person's viewpoint, right? But, after living here for almost a decade, after paying my way through NYU ($100k to go! Wh

I totally understand this mindset... I had it, too. And so I lived in Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill and paid through the teeth for tiny, mouse infested holes. But, I think that the NYC-to-NJ barrier does tend to be just that, a mindset. B

"Hoboken, Jersey City, Newark, and Newport are pretty crime-ridden." I live in Hoboken, in a part called "The Presidents" which 15 years ago used to be really unsafe. This is one of the worst parts of Hoboken, easily. But it is not anymore,

A very cool plugin. I really like the idea of the easier A/B testing of pages. A question, though. Are there any ramifications for selling the templates/plugin with WordPress and the GPL?

I love when I hear statements like this. Because I don't want the guy who wants to do well. I want the guy who wants to win. I want the guy who wants to monopolize. That old, horrible, cliché about reaching for the stars and landing among t

"Shouldn't they be picking up their kid?" -- this statement, while probably spot on -- is anathema to raising children in NYC. The kids that go to these events? Are a-okay to walk home close to midnight. I would bet no parents show up at th

My younger brothers go to these events -- the whole point of these events is the pre-drinking and the post-drinking. And from things I've picked up (gotta love facebook), there may in fact be a bit of drinking inside the parties, too. (Not

I would disagree about his personal brand, actually. I think that this is an example of Zed -- part and parcel. (And let me say right from the start, I love this guy's work and all that he brings to the table.) Zed has given immense amounts

Interesting that the numbers varied so much. My thought being that this is an example of how "de-valued" apps are in some people's minds. Lead developer, Craig Hockenberry, finally got a chance to post his answer (see [1] for his reply and

We use DFP at VBM after switching from a hosted OpenX install. DFP suffers from the lag, but in my experience, OpenX also exhibited lag (though not to the same level.) It takes roughly 30 minutes to traffic ads, which is enough time to be a

That is an interesting point. Which, as I'm not a founder (First FT employee here), means that anything I d for work is owned by the founders' company. I wonder how it relates to patents. Even at large firms, the person who "developed" the

I agree about the reddit users -- they are a fun bunch when it comes to privacy! (and I mean that in a very loving way.) But, Reddit has released data previously ( http://www.reddit.com/r/redditdev/comments/bubhl/csv_dump_of... ) and it see

Totally great point. What the user doesn't like would be hugely informative to marketers. They have a metric boatload of data ( http://www.reddit.com/r/redditdev/comments/bubhl/csv_dump_of... ) to use, and to take advantage of. I know the r

These are just five ideas that Reddit could start implementing to help towards generating more revenue. While this article is geared towards Condé, any site or web app owner could implement them. None of them are very painful to implement a
